Recovery Profile After General Anaesthesia in Paediatric Ambulatory Surgeries: Desflurane Versus Propofol.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivePaediatric ambulatory surgeries warrant a speedy recovery of patients without compromising their safety. Short-acting agents such as propofol and desflurane help facilitate these objectives. In this prospective, randomised study we compared the recovery profile in paediatric patients undergoing ambulatory surgeries who received entropy guided general anaesthesia (GA) using desflurane and propofol as maintenance anaesthetics.
methodsWe enrolled 80 children (3-10 years of age), ASA I and II, scheduled for elective surgeries of <60 minutes duration requiring GA between March 2015 and June 2016. We used entropy to monitor adequate depth of anaesthesia and to ensure equipotency of anaesthetic administration in both groups. The state and response entropy was maintained between 40 and 60 by titrating the anaesthetic agents and opioid analgesics. The time of awakening, perioperative haemodynamics, postoperative recovery profile, adverse events and comparative cost of anaesthetic agents were analysed.
resultsThe mean heart rate in the desflurane group was significantly higher. There was no difference between the blood pressure, end tidal carbon dioxide, or oxygen saturation in the two groups. There was a trend towards faster awakening, spontaneous respiration and extubation, quicker time to achieve a fast track score >12 and shift out of the post-anaesthesia care unit in the desflurane group, but the difference was not statistically significant. There were no serious adverse events. The mean cost of desflurane was significantly higher than propofol.
conclusionDesflurane and propofol provided similar recovery profiles in children receiving GA for ambulatory surgeries. However, propofol was more cost effective compared to desflurane.
